DCS950g - has some tricks. Great camera but it is a bit slow to set-up.
My main issue was that I use Firefox, but the camera will only log in using the Inernet Explorer window. They don't tell you this on the instructions and it still gives you the login panel - but it just says done and won't connect you to the camera.
When you iron out these problems its a great camera a little tricky to focus and the view angle is quite small but it is easy to move to any location and you get a great image.

Tricky to Set Up Why does this camera have to be so difficult to set up and use? All it is, is a camera and some firmware!
My experience has been terrible with this thing. Sometimes I see its IP on the network, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I can get access to the setup page, most times I get an IP error. This would be ok if I was a novice, but I run our network at work, so know exactly how this thing should work.. and one word sums it up: FLAKEY! The wireless is sometimes up sometimes down. And don't get me...

A Terrible Camera and piece of junk This camera needs to go back to the drawing board. The motion sensing does not work when I used the IPview Lite program. I upgraded the firmware and used the latest version of the IPview Lite program(version 5). The ipview lite constantly freezes up after I activate the motion sensing. The quality of the picture is no better than the DCS 900W. I wasted my money and the camera is in storage with the rest of my junk.

It wasn't the nightmare I thought it would be After reading the other reviews I was prepared for the worst. I use a Linksys Wireless Router, had all my settings ready to go, followed the directions, set the camera configuration with Routers SSID,channel,WEP encryption etc.The whole process from out of the box to seeing an image was less than 20 minutes. Tested it in the wireless mode, had to click the search button to get the IP & then logged on with no problem. Pulled out my laptop, typed in the IP, and it connected. I haven't run it for a...

This Webcam Is A TOTAL P.O.S.! Do NOT get this product. It takes forever to set up and then in cuts off every 10 mintutes. It's impossible to view or use with anything other than IE.6 and even then it's more trouble than it's worth. You have to go to the thing and physically push this little reset button for 10 seconds every hour or so to keep it working. What's the point of a REMOTE web cam if you have to keep running over to it to keep it working? Even when it's working the setup and feature menus are plagued with bugs.

Not up to spec. I have had nothing but problems with this camera. Every change I make using its IPView
Light program locks the camera up, and I have to cycle power in order to connect again. Secondly the auto record function does not work. I have spent hours on the phone with 4 different tech support agents, 3 of which spoke very good Indian, and could not resolve the problem. Over all the camera is useless to me without the recording function.

Works Great With 1.07 Firmware I just purchased this camera and noticed upon install that new firmware is now available. Many others had posted that bugs existed in old firmware. I immediately updated the firmware with no problems - please note only to update firmware when the camera is connected to a hard wired network - do not update firmware over wireless. Since updating the firmware, I've found the camera to be very reliable, sharp image with manual focus lens, and easy to set up with dynamic dns for viewing via a regu...

Works but won't stay connected to network Bottom line, don't buy it unless you want to reboot the thing several times a day. It just will not stay connected to the network more than a few hours at a time. My other camera (a Panasonic BL-C30A) stays connected non-stop without a problem (but it has no audio). I'm retuning the Dlink tomorrow.

Serious Product Flaws DCS-950G After reading mostly bad reviews, I took a chance and bought this product. True to the majority of reviews, the camera is subject to locking up regulary. When it worked, the picture quality was good. Tried to work with DLINK and they were no help. They acted as they were not aware of this problem, but they must be since everyone returns these camera's. I saw similiar reviews for their other models as well. My guess is they have a serious firmware problem they need to fix. With so many mod...
